A rare opportunity to purchase a much loved 1957 Vintage Porsche 356 Speedster Replica. This vehicle is an exact
replica and has been confused on numerous occasions, including enthusiasts shows for the real thing and is
indistinguishable in every way.
This speedster has the upgraded 1915cc engine with dual Weber carbs (most out there today only have the basic
1600cc engine). This also has the additional tonneau cover, authentic badges etc.
We also installed the optional front disc brakes. This car has been cared for lovingly and is in mint condition
with very low mileage. This is your opportunity to purchase a once in a lifetime work of motoring art that drives
better than the original and has a fraction of the ownership cost, and price of the real thing.
If you wish to own a classic car then this is the one to have, made famous by celebrities and race enthusiasts the
world over, this car was originally owned by a well known authentic motoring garage here in California and was
continually mistaken for the $300,0000 real thing. Every attention to detail has been incorporated to make this
exact, right down to the original Nardi steering wheel, badges, gear lever, lights and grilles. This car even comes
with a personalized yellow and black tag plate. Finished in original Porsche Blue with cream leather and blue
piping, with blue carpet and matching blue hood.
Sadly need stop go to make room for kids toys in the garage and will be a sorely missed member of the family that
has given many hours of enjoyment! First to see will most definitely buy!

Porsche has been in the business of slaying sacred cows for the better part of a decade, from venturing into the SUV space with the Cayenne to the four-door realm with its Panamera hatchback. And if those vehicles didn't leave brand purists apoplectic enough, Porsche has been adding diesel and hybrid power to its portfolio, thought to this point, neither alt-fuel motivator has made its way into the brand's sports car lineup.Today's Frankfurt Motor Show effectively marks the second-generation of diesel power in the Panamera, and this updated 3.0-liter V6 features 300 horsepower (50 ponies more than last year) and a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque, available from 2,500 rpm. That power is achieved with a new higher-pressure, water-cooled turbo and redesigned engine internals that include a new crankshaft and pistons. The newfound increase is said to raise top speed to 161 miles per hour from 152, and drop the car's 0-62 mph time from 6.8 seconds down to 6.0. It also figures to be a better handler, with a new torque-vectoring rear differential borrowed from its gas-powered brethren and a reworked transmission for crisper shifts. The suspension has also been retuned, along with the updated 2014 visuals first revealed at April's Shanghai Motor Show.No word yet on the North American sales prospects of this diesel Panamera, but we imagine that depends in part on how well the Cayenne diesel is selling.

Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.

The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.
